Bruno Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 No speedlimits in Canada Prelude ? Are jet-eninges allowed ? Do you think they would like a French-Dutch Penguin comming over and have a test-flight in such a car ?Love speedy cars, but the limit is 100 km/hr over here, does not really add to the fun if you just payed good money to buy one who can do 240 !

Prelude76 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 but penguins can't fly, bruno. speed limit is 100 km/h as well, but only in some areas is that somewhat enforced. Canada is a big country, and it would take way too long to go 700km from Toronto to Montreal. most of the time, our highway's speed limit is as enforced as an Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire. most cars in the left lane average 140km/h, and the highway going up north from Toronto, highway 400, you can safely travel 160+ without fear of police (since theres probably 5 or 6 other cars going that speed ahead of you) i dont recommend going 180+, thats when the police get nasty with you and clip yer wings oh, gentoo thread, right.... gentoo sounds good, but do they have one pre-compiled for AMD Athlons?

Guest ThunderRiver Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Lexus is a sub company of Toyota, but they have different policy on the car production.Lexus is ranked the second next to Mercedes as in hardware performance, and ranked number 1 in customer satisfaction. If you have tried to test drive a Toyota and a Lexus, you will easily tell that the engine design in Lexus is soo much better. When you instantly speed up from 40 up to 80 MPH, Toyota engine already starts to have noise. But for Lexus, it is like walking on water, little piece of cake, and the steering in Lexus is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude76 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Gentoo and AMD Athlon: look Here at the bottom. Brunobased on the link, it seems like Athlon XP runs better on Gentoo then Pentium. Does that apply to all distros? Is AMD a better chip in a Linux environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
